Full-Time
Analytical Chemist (GC) – Environmental Testing
Salary: Dependent on experience, plus bonus and profit-sharing opportunities
Hours: 39 hours per week, Mon–Fri (Tues–Sat or Sun–Thurs also considered, with flexible start/finish times)
Benefits
* 36 days' annual leave including bank holidays
* Holiday purchase scheme - buy up to 5 additional days
* Enhanced family leave (maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental)
* Pension plan, high street discounts and employee recognition programmes
The Opportunity
A leading UKAS-accredited environmental testing laboratory in South Derbyshire is looking for an Analyst to join its busy organics department. You'll take ownership of your own analytical work, running GC-based analysis and delivering accurate, precise data to ISO 17025 and MCERTS standards in a high-throughput production environment.
This would be an ideal second role for someone who has gained solid hands-on experience in their first lab position and is ready for a step up.
The Role
* Perform GC analysis independently to productivity and quality specifications
* Carry out routine maintenance and performance checks on instrumentation, reporting faults promptly
* Maintain good laboratory practice and compliance with UKAS (ISO 17025) and MCERTS requirements
* Keep accurate records - batch sheets, equipment logs, training records and quality documentation
* Support quality investigations: PT results, QC charts, issues log and limit reviews
* Assist with training new team members as you develop
The Team
The organics department is split into two teams, extraction and analysis - each led by a Team Leader. You'll join a supportive, well-structured lab with on-the-job training from day one.
About You
* Some commercial lab experience - perhaps 1–2 years into your career and looking for your next move
* Hands-on GC experience (environmental, water, food or industrial QC backgrounds all welcome)
* Understanding of UKAS/ISO 17025 working practices
* Organised, quality-focused and comfortable in a busy environment
Salary: Dependent on experience, plus bonus and profit-sharing opportunities
Hours: 39 hours per week, Mon–Fri (Tues–Sat or Sun–Thurs also considered, with flexible start/finish times)

* 36 days' annual leave including bank holidays
* Holiday purchase scheme - buy up to 5 additional days
